Case against Colorado Christian baker is one more outrage: PennLive letters

Each day brings yet another governmental event that causes America to slide down that slippery slope towards the destruction of our beloved republic. The Obama administration, in too many of these incidences, is frequently the cause. And, worse, this incremental dismantling of all that we Americans hold dear seems to be deliberate.

Recently, a Colorado Christian baker lost his court case in which a gay couple sued him because he refused to bake them a wedding cake. It was against his religious beliefs to do so. A simpler solution for the couple would have been for them to take their business elsewhere, but they insisted on making a statement instead.

As the owner of a small business, the baker is trying to keep his bakery and source of income alive. Today's merchants have to deal with more and more regulations, demands from people with agendas, Obamacare, minimum wage hikes, and other restrictions....as does this baker. He can no longer offer wedding cakes in his shop. Is it any wonder that today's small businesses are struggling?

As "punishment" for the baker's "indiscretion," the judge is forcing him and his workers to attend classes for sensitivity tolerance. What's next? Re-education camps?

Folks, the left and this administration is systematically taking away our God-given rights as promised in the Bill of Rights. If we don't stand up against this leftist movement to bring down our country, one day we will wake up to the realization that we no longer have ANY rights.
